United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2021
Follow me as I embark on adventures across New England canoeing, kayaking, mountain, fat, and gravel biking, hiking and traveling in my Roadtrek van. I'm getting old, I'm a bit overweight, but I find some of the coolest spots in New England.

Raquette River Canoe Trip - Adirondack State Park
We do a three day, 38 mile, canoe trip from Long Lake, down the Raquette river to Tupper Lake camping at Camp Riverdale and Lean-to site 21A. We have a Swift Keewaydin 18.6 rental and a Wenonah Minnesota II for the four of us. Two of the team have never done a canoe paddle and camping trip.

Punting in Cambridge, England

This episode is definitely out of the ordinary for me. I'm on a business trip to Cambridge, England and had a free Sunday so I went on a chauffeured punting trip on the River Cam. Next time I'll do the punting myself! Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

Maine's Moose River Bow Canoe Trip - a Practical Guide
มุมมอง 9Kปีที่แล้ว
I've read limited information about this 3-day paddle trip with the same start/finish point and formatted this as a guide for those interested in paddling it. This two-pager is the best guide I found and used it for my planning. It's from the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands - untamedmainer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Moose-River-Bow-Loop-Holeb.pdf Maine Trail Finder is also a great resource:...
Winter Storm Changes Plans
มุมมอง 935ปีที่แล้ว
My plan was to spend the weekend in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont to do some fat biking at the Kingdom trails. I cleaned off the 4x4 Roadtrek 190V and headed north. The first clue of what was in store was the flashing highway sign which said, "Winter Storm Warning." They weren't kidding. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

I use my van all winter in New England, but it's winterized, cold outside, and the roads are covered in salt. This is how I do it.

We paddle a couple of half-day locations in the western mountains of Maine. Sandy River Ponds and Quimby Pond. Not a lot of talking, just a lot of beautiful scenery.

Solo Paddling the 2020 Sea Eagle TC16
มุมมอง 2.6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I've had the Sea Eagle TC16, 2020 model, for close to two years so I could bring a canoe with me in my RoadTrek 190V camper van. It's been primarily for tandem paddling. In this video I give my impressions on the TC16 as a solo paddling boat with recommendations for seat configuration and paddles.

Installing a memory foam mattress in a RoadTrek 190V

I removed the Roadtrek 190V dinette/rear bed cushions and the memory foam topper and replaced them with an 8" Zinus memory foam mattress. I made a few cuts to get it to fit just right. It wasn't a terribly difficult project. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

This isn't an ebike review, but my impressions of the use case of an ebike for the lifelong and aging cyclist. I was fortunate to have a friend loan me an Orbea Gain which I've ridden for close to 200 miles over the last three weeks. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland
